The parish accounts of Tábor from 1509 to 1510
Vandrovcová, Jitka ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Kůrka, Pavel (referee)
Tábor was a rich and prospering town with a large property base and flourishing crafts production, especially drapery. Since 1452, when it surrendered to bailiff Jiří of Poděbrady, it was a loyal servant of Czech kings until 1547, when it joined revolt of the estates against Ferdinand I. After suppression of the revolt, Tábor was punished by taking away a major part of its property and by the installation of the royal reeve. Since the Hussite revolution, influence of laymen on administration of fabrica ecclesiae (funds necessary for church construction, maintainance and functioning) started to rise, as the church was taken away its property. It was sacristans who looked after administration of fabrica ecclesiae. In the first half of the 16th century, officers took over that duty and sacristans were left just the duties at church. Reports on fabrica ecclesiae should have been recorded in a fabrica ecclesiae book, including incomes and expenditures, a list of instruments for worship service, and records of memorial and administrative character. The incomes to fabrica ecclesiae were from collections, from funerals at church as well as in the cemetary, from chiming, from interest payments on houses, woods, gardens, fields, vineyards, villages etc. The most frequent expenditures were wages for a vicar, organist,...

The role of women in the work of magister Jan Rokycana
Vandrovcová, Lenka ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Nejedlý, Martin (referee)
This thesis is focused on the role of women in the works of Jan Rokycana. Let me first introduce briefly his life. There is not much information about his youth left, but there are quite a few documented reports related to his life after the year 1415 when he became a Bachelor of Arts. While studying at University in Prague, he met Magister Jakoubek of Stříbro, after whose death he took over the leadership of the moderate fraction of Hussites. The 1430s affected significantly Rokycana's life. At their beginning, he became a Magister of Arts, then at the Council of Basil he argued for an article on necessity of Holy Communion of both kinds for laymen, later those years he was elected as the Archbishop of Prague, and at end of 1430s, he left active church and political life and took shelter in Hradec Králové. His stay in Eastern Bohemia is related to Hync Ptáček of Pirkštejn and to Jiří of Poděbrady, thanks to whom he was restaured to the position of the Archbishop of Prague and of the spiritual leader of all Hussites. The main tasks of Rokycana's life were defending the Communion of both kinds for lay people and establishment of the organized Hussite Church, which would co-exist with the general church. That one, however, was his chief rival in completing his tasks, as it never acknowledged Rokycana as the...
